日曜日なので、穏やかな内容を書いています。
（3・11の地震と先日の地震について少しだけ記述していますが、強い内容ではありません）
やっと今の部屋に合う絵のセレクトが終わり、テーブルの上に並べて見ると計画した通り、小さな美術館の様でした。
不意に訪れた模様替えもやっと終わり、気がつくと８月になっていました。
それ位予期せぬ大模様替えだったのですが、とても疲れました。
先日、私の住む街の近くの県で大きな地震が起こり、家具が壊れる程度ではありませんでしたが、私の部屋も知っている以上に長く横に揺れて居ました。
当日に2度程余震もあり、疲れていて寝不足だったせいか、今回は私にもショックが出て居たようです。
私は今までの人生で大きな地震の体験は2回あるので、大丈夫だろうと思っていたので、少し驚きました。
余りに気持ちがナーバスに過敏になっていたので、１日1錠ずつバファリンを分けて飲み、食事を取り、ニュースから離れて家事をこなしたリ、夜は体と精神の疲れを部屋でそっと涙を流して発散したりしていました。
昨日、丁度計画していた小さな絵が届き、まるで小さな美術館のようだと思った途端、ふっと抜ける事が出来ました。
私のはやはりショックだった様でPTSDの可能性が下がりホットしています。
以前ここで触れた「おうちで楽しむにほんのもてなし」広田千悦子 技術評論社刊行」の”気分をかえる”に部屋や家の一角にここだけは綺麗に片付き好きなディスプレイ場所があると良い、とあるのですが、今回もまた本当にその通りだな、としみじみ思いました。
部屋の中に小さなアートを取り入れると言うと。余りに馴染みが無く堅苦しいような気持ちになりますが、実際の油彩ではなく好きな絵をTemuで購入し、まだ壁に置いていないのに気持ちがぐんと落ち着きました。

上の鴉（からす）の絵は印刷ですが、8㎝の円形金属の額縁に入っています。
持つとちゃんと重く、何だか部屋の空気にエレガントな重さが出来たようで、前を通る度、そっと微笑みが浮かびます。
上の鯨とワンピースを着た女性と満月と海の絵は、アイアン製のように見えますが、厚紙で作ってあります。
こちらはBTSの「Whalien 52」という楽曲のようでそれで購入しました。
何故かこれを見ていると、貴女は何も悪くないよ、とウォーミィな気分になります。

私はTemuでの取り扱いの家具が好きな様です。
シノワズリやクラシカルで重みがあるノーブルな雰囲気を部屋に足してくれるような気がします。
小さな部屋の中にそういった物が幾つかあると、大きな事が起こっても気持ちが鎮まりやすいようですね。
隣の県なので地震が余りない国の方は驚かれたと思いますが、とても遠い距離の隣なので此方は大事ありません。
今回はとても疲れ果てて環境がいつまでも片付かず、寝不足が続いていたので、ショックが出たのですが。
先の3・11と呼ばれる2011年の震災の時、首都東京も大分大きく揺れ、当たり前ですがメディアで仕事をしている人々は、慢性ハードワーカーで、日本の年度という、1/1に始まる一年とはまた違う区切りが4月1日なので、3月は寝不足で働かれていた方々も多かったと思います。
また報道に携わる方々も、災害直後から報道を続け、ショックが出やすい状況で職務を全うされていたので、PTSDを発症した方々も多かったのでは無いでしょうか。
服薬治療というのは科学医療治療ですので、数値やどの位の期間でどのような環境内で卒薬（そつやく：治療が終わること）出来たか、統計を出し、ぜひ強い報道の場では無くとも、芸術・音楽・演芸・市井の観察者として報道内で復帰して頂きたいと心から願っています。
私はもうすっかりショックが抜けて、あと1週間程、落ち着いた早寝早起き、片付けや家の中を綺麗にする、と続ければ、お医者様に相談せずに済みそうです。
空気というのは、よく水に例えられます。
落ち着いた部屋の雰囲気は、透き通って緩やかなので、本日の表題です。
苦手な方は一区画をお洒落にディスプレイせずとも、 こうやって静かでチャームな雰囲気を持つ、小さな絵画を揃えると心が静かにくつろげるのでは無いでしょうか？
それでは、素敵な日曜日をお過ごし下さい。

Since it's Sunday, I'm writing something gentle.
(I mention the March 11 earthquake and the recent earthquake briefly, but the content is not graphic.)
I’ve finally finished selecting paintings that go well with my current room, and when I laid them out on the table, it looked just like a small art museum, just as I’d planned.
The impromptu redecorating project is finally over, and before I knew it, it was already August.
It was such an unexpected major redecorating project that it really wore me out.
The other day, a major earthquake struck a prefecture near the city where I live. While it wasn’t strong enough to break any furniture, my room shook side-to-side for longer than I realized.
There were also about two aftershocks that day, and perhaps because I was tired and sleep-deprived, it seems this time it really shook me up.
I’ve experienced two major earthquakes in my life so far, so I thought I’d be fine—which is why I was a little surprised.
Since I was feeling so on edge and hypersensitive, I took one Bufferin tablet a day, ate my meals, stayed away from the news, and got my housework done. At night, I’d let out the physical and mental exhaustion by quietly shedding a few tears in my room.
Yesterday, the small painting I’d been planning to get arrived, and the moment I thought, “It’s just like a little art museum,” I suddenly felt a sense of relief.
It seems the shock really did affect me, so I’m relieved that the possibility of PTSD has decreased.
In the book I mentioned here before, *Enjoying Japanese Hospitality at Home* by Chieko Hirota (published by Gijutsu Hyoron-sha), under the section “Changing Your Mood,” it says it’s good to have a spot in your room or home—just this one corner—that’s neatly organized and serves as a display area you love. Once again, I felt deeply that this is truly the case.
When people talk about incorporating small works of art into a room, it can feel unfamiliar and a bit stuffy. But instead of an actual oil painting, I bought a picture I liked on Temu, and even though I haven’t hung it on the wall yet, it’s already made me feel much calmer.

It goes without saying, but there’s absolutely nothing good about having a messy room.
The picture of the crow above is a print, but it’s set in an 8-cm round metal frame.
It feels substantial when I hold it, and it seems to lend an elegant weight to the room’s atmosphere; every time I walk past it, a gentle smile crosses my face.
The painting above—featuring a whale, a woman in a dress, a full moon, and the ocean—looks like it’s made of iron, but it’s actually made of thick cardboard.
It seems to be related to the BTS song “Whalien 52,” which is why I bought it.
For some reason, when I look at this, I get a warm, comforting feeling, as if someone is telling me, “It’s not your fault at all.”

This is a shelf made up of small wooden drawers. I bought it on Temu, as usual.
I seem to really like the furniture available on Temu.
I feel like it adds a noble, classical, and substantial atmosphere to the room, with a touch of Chinoiserie.
Having a few pieces like this in a small room seems to help calm my mind, even when something major happens.
Since we’re in a neighboring prefecture, people from countries where earthquakes are rare might have been startled, but because it’s a neighboring area so far away, we were fine here.
This time, however, I was completely exhausted, my living space remained a mess for ages, and I was constantly sleep-deprived, so the shock really hit me hard.
During the 2011 earthquake—commonly known as “3/11”—even the capital, Tokyo, shook quite violently. Naturally, people working in the media are chronic hard workers, and since the Japanese fiscal year begins on April 1—a different cutoff date from the calendar year that starts on January 1—I imagine many of them were working through sleep deprivation in March.
Furthermore, those involved in news reporting continued their coverage immediately after the disaster and fulfilled their duties under conditions that made it easy to experience psychological shock, so I suspect many of them may have developed PTSD.

Since medication-based treatment is a form of scientific medical care, I sincerely hope that statistics will be compiled—including specific data on dosage levels, the duration of treatment, and the conditions under which patients were able to wean off their medication—and that these individuals will return to the media, even if not in high-profile reporting roles, but rather as observers of the arts, music, performing arts, and everyday life.
I’ve completely recovered from the shock now, and if I continue for about another week with a calm routine of going to bed early and waking up early, along with tidying up and cleaning my home, it looks like I won’t need to consult a doctor.
The atmosphere is often compared to water.
The calm atmosphere of a room is clear and gentle, which is why I chose this as today’s title.
For those who aren’t into that style, even without styling an entire section of the room, wouldn’t collecting a few small paintings like these—which create a quiet, charming atmosphere—help your mind relax peacefully?
Well then, I hope you have a wonderful Sunday.
